Title: A method for improving the water-absorption capacity of polyamide fibres
IPC: D06M13/224
Filed: 1954-08-16
Abstract: The water-absorbing capacity of polyamide fibres or filaments is improved by treating the fibres or filaments with an aqueous alcoholic emulsion of a mixed polyamide in the presence of one or more linear polyesters produced from dihydric alcohols and dibasic acids.  The fibres may be composed of a polymer of aminocaproic acid. In the example, polyamide fibres are treated with a solution comprising the mixed polyamide of caprolactam and hexamethylene-diamine adipate, glycol, methanol and polysuccinic acid glycol ester emulsified in water.  The emulsion is heated to 30 DEG C. and acidified with acetic or citric acid, and the fibres are slowly heated in the emulsion to about 45 DEG  to 50 DEG  C. and then dried at 100 DEG  C.ALSO:Polyamide fibres or filaments are treated with an aqueous alcoholic emulsion of an alcohol-soluble mixed polyamide in the presence of a linear polyester produced from a dihydric alcohol and a dibasic acid.
